Anyway That You Want Me - Evie Sands

Take Me For A Little While, I Can't Let Go, Angel of The Morning, Any Way That You Want Me...the original versions of ALL these classics were, believe it or not, by the same artist; EVIE SANDS! The young girl whom no less than Dusty Springfield called "My favourite singer" and who recorded on such classic rock'n'roll labels as Blue Cat/Red Bird, Cameo-Parkway and A&M!
Starting her career as a singer and songwriter at the tender age of 12, Evie was soon taken under the wing of Chip Taylor, who wrote all the above songs for Evie, only to be cheated of the hit on each occasion (except in Northern Soul circles where she always commanded serious respect!). Then Any Way That You Want Me became a monster hit in 1969 - to be followed by this, her only 1960's album; a superb collection of pop/soul, with that magical A&M Sound touch for good measure! Evie stepped back from performing to concentrate on songwriting; her songs recorded by artists as disparate as Gladys Knight, Dusty Springfield, Barbra Streisand... and more recently Beck and Beth Orton. Today, Evie has returned to recording, making a series of acclaimed records with her old friend Chip Taylor helping out, and featuring on new projects by Brian Wilson and The Wondermint among others!
